The inaugural Asheville Beer Week Collaboration Beer is a Hoppy Saison that was developed by members of the Asheville Brewers Alliance (22 brewers from around the region). The beer is made with Riverbend Malt House’s new Pilsner malt, locally harvested wildflower honey, and dry-hopped with an experimental hop courtesy of Sierra Nevada. This beauty was fermented with a French Saison yeast and clocks in at 7.0% ABV. The beer was proudly brewed and packaged at Green Man’s new brewery. Green Man has also issued a limited release of 999 bottles. ____ Collaborators: Altamont Brewing Company Asheville Brewing BearWaters Brewing Company Blue Mountain Pizza and Brew Pub Burial Beer Company Catawba Valley Brewing Company French Broad Brewing Company Green Man Brewery Heinzelmannchen Brewery Highland Brewing Company Lexington Avenue Brewery Nantahala Brewing Company New Belgium Brewing Oskar Blues Brewery Pisgah Brewing Company Riverbend Malt House Sierra Nevada Brewing Company Southern Appalachian Brewery Thirsty Monk Tipping Point Brewing Wedge Brewing Company Wicked Weed Brewing
